what is citizen science?
DESCRIPTION
WHAT IS CITIZEN SCIENCE?. FLAVOR 1: Perform a task with already collected data (example: Planet Hunters). FLAVOR 2: Citizen Naturalist Approaches (e.g. citizen’s collect data from the environment for use in science). Naturalist citizen science approaches are not new. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

OLD WEATHER TRANSCRIPTION PROJECT - CLIMATE LOG DATAMECHANICAL TURK:1) Date: 15 chars 2) Positional information: 10 chars (lat/long) 3) Weather: 120 chars (20 * 6
observations). 2) Total Cost: 145 * 0.015 = $2.175/record * 2 for double keying = $4.353) 350,000 logs pages * $4.35 = 1.5 million
TOTAL COST OF CIT. SCI OLD WEATHER: $120,000 funding total

Field Notes: • A mix of structured and unstructured content• Contains essential information not in specimen records• Content unique to field notebooks and nowhere else• Field notes enables new research (e.g. Grinnell Resurvey)• Citizen science approaches for extracting data from fieldnotes

CITIZEN SCIENCE WORKS AT SCALE(understanding biodiversity change may well require such massive effort)

CITIZEN SCIENCE HAS INTANGIBLE BENEFITS(Engagement in science process, value of collective effort, volunteerism for things that matter)
